Star Wars Battlefront II anyone?

[Fox]

Who's got it?

Who still plays it?

I was thinking of getting it but I'm not sure there are any Australian servers. GA has ONE server and it's currently down. Is it always down?

[Ned]

I just got this game and I'm keen for a few test nights!
Anyone interested for a run-around on my test server?

[vulcan21]

By request, the server will be running all this weekend.
All you need is the v1.1 patch (DVD version is already v1.1)

The guys playing will be providing feedback on desired server-settings as the weekend progresses.

It won't be passworded, feel free in to jump in for some games


server name nedSWB2
(it looks to be the only AUS server when running)


BOTs will be in the server, a BOT leaves when a human joins.

I haven't played for a really long time but I'll try and make it on Saturday night for some cannon fodder.

I think I'm going to be owned though.

Hi All,

I got SW BF2 just yesterday and noticed you have been playing recently. You guys still playing?

[Hicks]

I will reinstall the game if there is a server running and have a bash, I didn't mind the games and they play better on a LAN, but due to lack of support they killed the game.

[Fatalistik]

You Ripper

Finally a server in Australia that could potentially go somewhere.

I have both Star Wars Battlefront, and Battlefront 2, but had stopped playing them due to lack of Aussie servers.

I'll be writing the address down and should see you on line over the weekend some time.

Great Work Ned!

I think you will find a few closet Star Wars fans hankering for a LAN game

[Ned]

the IP is dynamic but you'll find the name easy enough or select to sort with ping
also, the server runs on request, not all the time
(will be running until my next request or test night on another game)
just send me a message if you would like it running

the best way to contact me is via - xfire -
you can also join my fps testing team (or just keep an eye on the event calander)
testing fps games, mods, maps...


what gametypes do you guys prefer?
any preferences on setttings?


currently:
2 flag CTF
12 players per side, BOTs will play if no humans
BOTs set to highest level
FF on
player awards on
heroes on, randomly selected both team simultaneously
all default available maps chosen, set to random order
